The canonical public descriptor for an Orbyt Community, and the record that declares the Community exists. Its AT-URI is the Community's identity everywhere else in the protocol. Every Community is public: the record is world-readable, and the directory and feed are open. Only posting is gated, by postPolicy.
tid
Timestamp-based ID
Properties
accentColor
string
Optional
A CSS-style hex colour, for example #D07EA2. Free-form so a client may carry a richer value later; a value this service cannot parse is ignored rather than rejected.
maxLength: 32 bytesavatar
blob
Optional
The Community's single full-bleed background artwork. It is shared by the community hero and Explore tiles; GIFs loop in supporting clients.
maxSize: 3.0 MBcreatedAt
string
datetime
Required
An RFC 3339 formatted timestamp.
description
string
Optional
No description available.
maxLength: 2000 byteslabels
union

Self-applied content labels, spelled as on app.bsky.feed.post. A Community carrying an adult label is hidden from viewers whose adult-content preference is off, exactly as a labeled post is.

string
Required
The globally unique lowercase Community name. Clients render it with a leading slash, for example /funny.
maxLength: 63 bytesminLength: 2 bytespostPolicy
